Document digitization services in Alpharetta, GA
A D-size site plan won’t fold and won’t fit a copier, and handling it week after week is what wears it out. Large-format scanning exists as a separate service with its own bed and its own pricing for that reason.
It accounts for 9 percent of Georgia’s records work, which is enough that the equipment sits locally rather than being shipped in for the job.
What the format decides before price does
- Rolled drawings need a wide bed, and folding one to fit a smaller machine costs you the drawing.
- Bound volumes need a cradle scanner, or the spine gives way.
- Photographs need flatbed handling rather than a roller feed.
Record Nations matches Alpharetta offices with providers holding all of that under one roof, so a mixed box doesn’t become a mixed invoice from two companies.
Searchable PDFs, indexed by project
Output comes back with optical character recognition applied, indexed on the fields you name — project number and year, in most cases. Originals return to you or go to certified destruction, whichever you specify at pickup.
Anything not worth converting belongs in off-site records storage at 50 to 95 cents per box per month, which is a great deal cheaper than converting a drawing that gets opened once a decade.
Price a large-format job properly
Count the sheets and note the largest size in the stack. Record Nations returns free estimates from Georgia providers priced per sheet rather than per box, because a drawing is not a box and quoting it as one hides the real number.
